This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo is finished in white over Palomino leather and is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 14″ Bundt wheels, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, a sunroof, roof rails, air conditioning, a rear-facing third-row bench seat, cruise control, and a Becker AM/FM cassette player. The car was acquired by the seller in September 2018, and work since 2019 is said to have included adjusting the valves, removing and cleaning the fuel tank, and changing the oil. This S123 is offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Utah title in the seller’s name.
The car was finished from the factory in Classic White (737U) and features a sunroof, integrated fog lamps, chrome impact bumpers and side mirrors, roof rails, and a single exhaust outlet. Corrosion is noted near the passenger-side rear quarter window, and additional exterior blemishes include paint chips and scratches that are depicted in the gallery below.
Silver-finished 14″ Bundt wheels are mounted with 195/70 Hankook icept iZ2 winter tires showing 2017 date codes. A matching spare tire is mounted inside the rear storage area, and braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The cabin features seating trimmed in Palomino leather (254) with matching door panels and carpets. Zebrano wood trim accents the dashboard and center console, and additional amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, electric windows, an aftermarket front cupholder, and a Becker AM/FM cassette player. The seller states that the air conditioning system has been recharged during current ownership. Interior wear is noted and includes a tear in the driver’s seat bottom, dash cracking, and deteriorating pillar and headliner trim.
The cargo area contains a factory-optioned rear-facing bench seat that folds out from beneath the floor.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 125-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates under 180k miles, approximately 8k of which has been added by the seller.
The 3.0-liter OM617 turbodiesel inline-five sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The seller states that work performed since 2019 by Werner’s European Auto of Salt Lake City, Utah, included adjusting the valves, removing and cleaning the fuel tank, and changing the oil.
Additional images showing the condition of the underside are included in the gallery below.
Documentation accompanying the car includes manufacturer’s literature.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Texas, Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah from the earliest entry in October 1986 through the most recent update in August 2021.
